30 Paintings in 30 Days - Day 19 - Whimsical Wildflowers

30 Paintings in 30 Days - Day 19 - Whimsical Wildflowers

5x5x2" Acrylic on Gallery Canvas

Side View

I had every intention of doing a more impressive painting today of a more realistic school bus toy. But, things change. Migraines happen. But then....I had the best time painting this one! You know how excited you'd get to color when you were a child? And you'd just sit down to have fun without worrying about the outcome? Well, this is the kind of fun I had with this painting. And I enjoy whimsy art, so I'm happy with how it turned out, too. It may not be the most impressive painting I've done for the 30 in 30, but it certainly was the most fun. I will be doing more of these. My migraine is gone, by the way. It's just a dull headache, now, so I'm so happy with that. I'll take a dull headache over a migraine any day!

About Me

Rischa Heape is a mixed media folk artist, who’s work reflects her love of texture and vibrant color. Her first artistic adventure began as a love of photography, but after a basic acrylic lesson from her mother in 2007 she was drawn more toward painting. From there she began researching mediums and taking workshop after workshop before settling on mixed media folk art as her chosen specialty. Between workshops, books, and experimentation she has created a large and varied body of work that has been sold all over the country. She uses a variety of mediums, papers, and textures that result in paintings with depth and rich vibrancy. Her influences are Frida Khalo, Pablo Picasso, and Amedeo Modigliani to name a few. Rischa has participated in projects like Drawing This Love and The Sketchbook Project, and her work has been sold online at places like Etsy, FineArtAmerica, Cafepress, and Society6. She is currently exhibiting at Painting Outside The Lines Gallery and One Flight Up Cafe in Mount Dora, Florida. Previous exhibits include Mount Dora Center for the Arts and The Brooklyn Art Library.
